Winston Churchill: The Valiant Years: Episode 14: Closing the Ring

BBC One
on BBC One London

A film series based on Sir Winston Churchill's Memoirs of World War II.

The first meeting of the 'Big Three'-Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin takes place in Teheran in November 1943, and a date is set for the opening of a Second Front in Europe-summer 1944. To relieve the Russians and draw away German troops Churchill redoubles attacks in Italy. The Allied advance is halted at Monte Cassino, and in spite of the landings at Anzio, behind the German lines, it becomes necessary to destroy the centuries-old monastery. It is attacked by air and reduced to rubble. (Repeat)
